Open House on Rural Education

This event will be held on Tuesday, February 28, 2017 at the Henry Grube Education Centre, 245 Kitchener Crescent.

School District No. 73 (Kamloops/Thompson) and the Ministry of Education are hosting a community meeting on Tuesday, February 28th, 2017, to share ideas on rural education in B.C. Interested parents and community members are invited to attend and express their thoughts on rural education and the importance of rural schools.

This Open House is part of a public engagement process to help develop a provincial rural education strategy by the summer of 2017.

All feedback received will help government shape a final report on an integrated rural education strategy. The strategy aims to find long-term solutions for the unique challenges facing rural school districts and communities, including looking at the important social, cultural, and economic roles that schools play in small communities.
